At the end of the Workshop One series, over 100 institutions and organiz=
ations and 330 people contributed to the discussion at face-to-face worksho=
ps. One of the greatest challenges facing the project is how do we tap the =
collective expertise and experience of our community. In a smaller project,=
it is fairly easy to tap single individuals, a set of institutions, or a g=
roup of experts but in the case of Bamboo, the scale is two to three times =
greater than we anticipated and indications are that interest will continue=
to grow. Are there models we should consider for structuring participation=
and leadership in the project? What works and what doesn't? What should we=
avoid? Are there examples we should explore?
